This recipe makes 12 1" bites // It takes 10 minutes

FOR THIS RECIPE YOU'LL NEED

1 tbsp ground flax seeds

2 tbsp cacao (I use a cacao maca blend, but you could use two parts cacao to one part maca)

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 scoop protein powder (I use unflavored but chocolate or vanilla would be great)

5 pitted medjool dates

1/3 cup almond butter

1 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla

1 pinch sea salt

Shredded coconut (optional)

PREPARATION

*I used my vita-mix for this recipe and it worked very well, however I would not recommend a standard blender for this recipe, a food processor will be your best bet.

If your dates are very dry start by soaking them in warm water for 1-2 minutes.
